First I'll tell you what not to do with EOS Hard Drives, then hopefully someone has an idea of how to fix what I did.
CLEVER IDEA
I wanted to transfer all my EOS files from the hard drive in my E4XT Ultra to my EmulatorX on the PC (WinXP Pro). Knowing that EmulatorX can read EOS CD's, I had a clever idea.
I took the E4XT Ultra hard drive out, reset the jumpers as a slave, installed it in a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Case, and hooked it up to my computer. Although, my PC detected the drive by name, it wouldn't assign a drive letter. So, in the end my EmulatorX couldn't read it because I couldn't tell it where to read from.
GONE HAYWIRE
I installed the Hard Drive (with the jumpers back to master) back into the E4XT Ultra, but the sampler doesn't recognize it as an EMU file system. The HD icon and name shows up, but the "info" screen shows that the sampler doesn't recognize the OS on the Hard Drive ("Fs: ?" means unknown file system). Also, the zero capacity used and available is another indication.
WHAT HAPPEND
I think that something, very small, got written to the drive by the USB 2.0 driver, which is causing the sampler to not recognize the file structure.
HELP
Is there anyway to correct this? Because the E4XT Ultra never provided an efficient means of backing up my songs, everything I have made for the past 6 years is in there!
